Cold-faced Empress

Immediately, servants brought over several buckets of cool well water and poured it over Ning Ruicheng's head. As for Wei Lanling, Xiao Lishi wiped her face with a wet cloth while crying.

Several buckets of well water were poured over him, and Ning Ruicheng jolted awake, shivering. Facing the crowd in the courtyard, and hearing Wei Lanling's cries beside him, astonishment gradually appeared on his face. Especially since the person standing before him was Prince Mu!

"I! I..." He had nothing to say.

He couldn't even believe he had actually done such a despicable thing. He... he had only intended to scare Fu Siying; he was drunk, but... he shouldn't have...

When everyone saw Ning Ruicheng's panicked expression and his lack of excuses, they knew perfectly well that Ning Ruicheng was the culprit.

Good heavens, this guy is incredibly audacious, daring to plot against Fu Siying.

Prince Wei, tears streaming down his face, repeatedly kowtowed and begged Prince Mu for mercy: "My son lost his temper after drinking; he did not mean to offend you. I beg Prince Mu to have mercy and spare his life! He is my only son!"

Mo Canglan looked at Fu Siying.

Fu Siying turned her head away, showing no reaction. The punishment had to be decided by Mo Canglan; if she were to say it herself, wouldn't the Prince of Wei hate her?

Seeing that Fu Siying had no objection, Mo Canglan said calmly, "You still want your life? Then you shall be castrated."

In an instant, Prince Wei and Ning Ruicheng were struck dumb.

"Mu...Mu Wang!"

Fu Siying glanced at Mo Canglan out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but shiver from the chill emanating from him. Castration? Ha, good! This kind of filthy and shameless scoundrel doesn't deserve to be a normal person!

Prince Wei crawled to Mo Canglan's feet, pleading, "Your Highness, you're threatening to kill this old minister! It's no different from taking his life!"

"Then it's time to take his life." Mo Canglan didn't care at all.

Prince Wei was taken aback, then bent down and wept bitterly.

Ning Ruicheng was terrified and wept bitterly, begging for mercy: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I never meant to offend Miss Fu. I was drunk! I'm not human, I deserve to die! I'll serve Your Highness and Miss Fu like a slave from now on, I just beg Your Highness to spare me!"

Such pleas are meaningless; given Mo Canglan's temperament, how could he possibly be persuaded to plead for mercy?

Just as Mu Wang's men were about to drag Ning Ruicheng away for immediate execution, suddenly, Wei Lanling's weak and painful pleas for mercy came from the side.

“Prince Ning has not insulted me. I beg Prince Mu to forgive Prince Ning.”

Fu Siying's cheek twitched, and she looked at Wei Lanling with a sinister gaze. This bitch is truly despicable to the core!

Upon hearing Wei Lanling's words, everyone was shocked. The women of the Wei Prince's residence realized what was happening and quickly pulled Wei Lanling into the house.

In no time, he ran out overjoyed: "Miss Wei is still a virgin! My young master did not violate her, he did not!"

A clean slate?!

There was an uproar.

Everyone saw that Ning Ruicheng and Wei Lanling were entangled naked and inseparable, yet Wei Lanling was not defiled.

Startled, Fu Siying suddenly realized something and abruptly turned to look at Mo Canglan. So that's what he meant when he said "it's nothing"?!

Ning Ruicheng was both shocked and overjoyed: "Yes! Yes! I was drunk, how could I have the energy to do anything! Prince Mu, Miss Fu, I didn't hurt Miss Wei, I didn't!"

Seeing the Prince Wei's mansion looking like it had just survived a disaster, Fu Siying clenched her fists in anger and couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath: "Useless trash, good-for-nothings."
